(And, oh my word- Blogger sure has changed while I was away! I couldn't even figure out how to move my pictures around the easy way I had used before, so all of these pictures are completely out of order. Oh, well!)

I've had friends and family tell me how far behind my blog is, and all I could say was, "I've been so busy living, I haven't had time to blog about living!"

And that's the truth!

This boys has kept me on my toes.

It's been in a great way!But, I am NOT a fan of this growing up thing!

We've been able to spend time with friends.

This night we were enjoying the drive-in movie.

The boys have been busy with karate.

We survived a HOT summer.

This photo was the end of May... hotter weather was ahead!

We spent a week with the grandparents at the beach.

Stayed at our usual place.

Love the fireworks there!

Enjoyed a night with good friends.

The kids had a great time.

But, we sure hated to see one of the families head back to Tennessee.

Began a new school year.

Figured out that using Friday afternoons for Math Bingo was a fantastic motivator for the joys to finish up their work!

I'll eventually get all the before and after pictures together so that I can show you just how many changes we made.

And early in the summer, when we stayed at the beach with the grandparents (but stinkin' Blogger won't let me move these pictures up there without making me pull my hair out) the boys were able to swim with the stingrays at the aquarium.

On that same trip, we celebrated Grammy's birthday.

She's pretty amazing at spoiling the joys, so we had a chance to spoil her back just a little!

About Me

Life is good! I homeschool our two incredible little men. I keep trying to learn how to cook, but can't cross that off my to-do list just yet! And, I am grateful to have one super-handsome, super-strong, super-hard-working husband. And yes, I am (almost) always this giddy!!!
